Nice garden. What do you have planted so far?
thanks everyone
In this garden, five different types of potatoes, snow and sugar snap peas, yellow onions, spinach, a handful of radishes, poppies (for the [-]opium[/-] seeds), a mache and romaine lettuce blend, broccoli and cauliflower.
and sweet corn behind the beds.
An in-progress shot of the 'south' garden:
and it partially planted:
That one has broccoli, cauliflower, some cherry tomatoes, san marzano tomatoes (in the photo), some slicer tomatoes (I think a yellow brandywine and a black russian somethingorother), and a lot of mellons (the furthest bed in the photo), basil. Tomorrow it'll also have pole and string beans and the rest of the basil.
The back side has about 15 of our 50 strawberries planted so far and is just waiting on me to finish up construction.
The herb garden:
Well, it was supposed to be the herb garden, but DW got the itch to go asparagus shopping and the plants were bought were coming out of dormancy so they had to be in the ground stat. I ended up digging down 2' to get all of the clay out of the beds, amended the soil under that with some sand, and then backfilled in with some nice topsoil and compost mix.
in the rain, of course
Top near the sidewalk has 15 asparagus crowns planted. A mix of purple and green. We should get a small harvest from them next year and then they'll be mature in a couple more years. The bottom has, for now, about 60 parsley but I'm going to cut about half of them soon and transplant in oregano and rosemary (it's started indoors right now). Middle has soft neck garlic for now.
I also have a 12'x2' planter on the deck with parsley, radishes, and lettuce. I'm planting that one 3' at a time and the parsley will get pulled out before its bed is planted with lettuce.
and the side yard will get planted with dried beans and dent corn.
We also have lots of beneficials mixed in to attract pollinators and predators.
Well, there you go, more than you ever wanted to know... but it's our first garden so we're more than a little excited
